On their own: Britain's child migrants

Some schemes targeted "youth migrants" rather than children –
generally Britons over the age of 16 who could work on farms and in the
outback. This picture shows young men recruited through one such programme,
the Big Brother Movement, which sponsored over 12,000 youths to come to
Australia. Because they were a little older, such migrants often had more
control over what happened to them, and settled down more happily.
